RB: As expected second-year back Giovanni Bernard and Jeremy Hill have taken the majority of reps in practice, while special teams ace Cedric Peerman and Rex Burkhead have been in the mix some as well, which has left veteran BenJarvus Green-Ellis getting very few opportunities. The times he has touched it, teammates have shouted words of encouragement to him.

During a one-on-one drill in which a running back was required to block a blitzing linebacker, Vontaze Burfict, who is 6-foot-1, 248 pounds, ran right through a block attempt by running back Cedric Peerman, who is 5-10, 214, and then basically flipped Peerman over his hip. Burfict also bulled through Peerman the second time the two squared off.

HIGHS AND LOWS

Andy Dalton picked on Rey Maualuga in the first play of 11-on-11, slipping a dart over his head to Mohamed Sanu when the linebacker was running up the seam with his back to the quarterback. … Adam Jones nearly hauled in what would have been the lone interception of the day on an underthrown pass to the sideline by Jason Campbell, but couldn't hold on to the diving attempt. … Burkhead also laid a good block during the one-on-one blitz drill when he stoned linebacker Emmanuel Lamur and essentially locked him up. … Rookie center Russell Bodine has snapped the ball extremely well out of the shotgun so far in camp after struggling in that area during OTAs, but he had his first bad snap of camp early in Sunday's practice when during a running drill he snapped one over Andy Dalton's head. … As was expected left guard Clint Boling was back practicing after taking Saturday off, while guard/center Mike Pollak did not practice. They are each alternating practice days while they come back from injuries. Boling is coming back from ACL surgery and Pollak is coming back from a knee injury that had him placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list last Monday.
